5 Ways to Beat High Concession Prices -- and the NFL's Bag Ban

The NFL is dealing with some backlash this week after making a change to its security rules that will ban standard-size purses and bags from football stadiums. The league says that the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon was a factor in changing the policy, but the decision is upsetting a lot of female fans who just want to be able to carry their handbags to the game.

The policy change is also going to make it more difficult to save money by carrying in outside food and drink. Yes, you've probably been small-time smuggler at some point in your life -- whether it's sneaking your own beer into a ball game or buying candy at the corner store to avoid the big markups at the movie theater's concession stand.

But tightened security need not dissuade you from thumbing your nose at concession prices. Here are a few products specifically designed to aid and abet you in your candy-and-booze running.

Just don't go! You are paying to watch a bunch of guys who have been involved with lots of drugs, theft, assaults and other crimes. Just this week a wide receiver seems to be involved or just bad timing in a murder. They put themselves in areas that are not good. This guy is making $ 8,000,000 a year and can't behave. Wake up stupid people.

Sports are great, but the $$ has gotten out of hand. I remember in grade school (mid 60's) a classmate dad was a lineman for the Broncos, he had to work a regular job on the off season to raise the family. A college roommate played for the Broncos many years in the '80s. He was grateful at how much he made as it was 5X what he could make as an engineer. Today, they make more in one year than most will make in a lifetime. I have better things to do than watch a bunch of spoiled, whining, multi-millionaires play a game. Nobody is worth that. I will go to the local high school and watch the kids play from the heart before putting a foot in a pro stadium.

Oh Please cut the whining. I have no problem with the new policy and nor does my wife. We actually can go to a game and not stuff food or drink in our mouths for a few hours. A little control folks. If the price is too high, do not buy.

The NFL keeps it up, they will end up like nascar, which means their will be ALOT of empty seats, 15 yrs ago you could not buy a ticket at the window for a NASCAR race ,and now its NO problem getting tickets for a race, because of the B-II $HIT RULES AND REGULATIONS

I was just listen to the news and a movie tickets are going to be 50 dollars and I have seen price fo sports tickets I think that we should start a movement and boycott all entertainment including tv till they lower the prices and cut the amout of the commericals. First by cutting the "stars" pay complete list from TV Guide:

1. Oprah Winfrey – $260 million a year 2. Simon Cowell – $45 million a year 3. Judge Judy – $30 million a year 4. Katie Couric – $15 million a year 5. Zach Braff – $6.3 million a year 6. William Petersen – $500,000 (per episode) 7. Charlie Sheen – $350,000 (per episode) 8. Mariska Hargitay – $350,000 (per episode) 9. Christopher Meloni – $350,000 (per episode) 10. Hugh Matter of fact this would cut the pounds off and maybe we would not be the fattest people on earth . goto the parks you are paying for them with your taxes how about a walk around the block will help cut crime down s

Commissioner Goodell, probably had to be ordered by government to do this for security. He sure doesn't have much clout when it comes to morals. Goodell ,allowed Micheal Vick to play and go on as if nothing happened. his decision on that alone makes anything he says or does void. we are all going to be affected by security. Goodell could care less that people can't afford the food prices etc. He is in it for the money and fame. he is well aware that people will pay for their sports over anything. the thug attitude that prevails in football is a lot more important to stop - than how to sneak in a jug of water.
